<VV> Re: Was "Correct Engine?" now turbo-less 180 ???'s

[Mike Stillwell]

 Question for the group, that the previous post
reminded me of. 
 I have been contacted about doing some work on a late
180 convertible that the current owners wish to use
for a cruiser type car, without putting a ton of money
into and without wanting to rebuild a turbo charger
etc (too much for their budget).
 My initial thought was to pull to Turbo (put it on
the shelf in case they one day want to make the car
correct again) and install regular carbs and exhaust.
This is provided that the long block is in good
conditon.
 Does anyone know what kind of performance to expect
from this? I want to avoid an engine that's going to
be so underpowered it's useless. I'm more interested
in what someone has already witnessed/experienced than
what it theoretically might do. Theory tells me it
will be close to an 80 hp, given the mild cam and low
compression.
 The other alternative, would be to pull the whole
engine and put in a 110. 
 
 Thanks for your advice/comments -
